It is exactly for a village in the middle of a forest that charcoal is appropriate. That is why you need to acquaint yourself with charcoal so you understand that. You need to do the research so that you have a feel for it.
Charcoal, which was made from wood, was used for achieving higher temperatures which were used for ceramics as well as for metal forging.
Charcoal is also used for cooking and is light and portable which is necessary for a mobile vendor, and one reason why Haiti has little forest. - just an example.
Remember writing isn't just the art of putting words together that please a reader, it is also the job of understanding what those words mean. That requires research if you don't already have the information.
